Kingslake, the Barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the Isle of Wight, will open his Court at the Town-hall, West Cowes, to revise the North wood list ; there are only nine objections, those all taken by the Tories. The town of Southampton is about to be supplied with water by means of an " artesian well," which is now boring on the Common. The situation chosen is above the level of the spires of the churches. When they had sunk the well fifty feet, they arrived at a pebbly beach (formerly a sea beach), co vered with drift-wood, bored by the marine molusca or worm. The town of Cowes, which is now supplied with water by water carts, which are the greatest possible nuisance, as the streets are constantly blocked up with them, it is in contem plation to supply with water in a similar way, the water ob tained by artesian wells being much softer and purer than that obtained near the surface.

The list for this afternoon promised four races; two, how ever, turned out to be " walks over," and had it not been for some excellent racing for the Plate, the sport would have been as short as it was unimportant. The weather was beautiful, and the company about on a par with the average of attend ances on Wednesday, which, owing to the settling and the sales, has always been the worst day of the five. The follow ing are all the details required : The Foal Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h. ft., for three yrs old colts and fillies. One mile and a half. 3 Subs. Mr. Bowes's The Jagger The Doncaster Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 50 added by the Cor poration, for three yrs old and upwards. Two miles. 4 Suhs.

Allerston, 3 yrs The joekt y weighed for The Count, who did not run ; the an nouncement, however, was not made until after money had been laid out on Fieschi at odds, which would not hate been betted had it been known that The Count was not to go. First Heat.—Even on Fieschi, and 3to 1 agst Humphrey. The favourite took the lead, followed by Allerston, kept it to the end, and won by a length. Second Heat.--5 to 4 agst Fieschi, 7to 4 agst Humphrey, and 3to 1 agst Vernal. Humphrey cut out the work with the others at his stern till within two distances of the chair, where Vernal and Fieschi went alongside ; a splendid race home terminated in favour of Vernal by a head. Third Heat.-_5 to 4on Vernal, and 6to 4 agst Fieschi (taken' Another magnificent race between Vernal and Pieschi ; the former, after waiting till the last, winning by a h ea d on ly. It is to b hoped that the managers of this meeting will on all future occasions continue their recently adopted plan of sending to the betting ring a list of the horses to start; it will increase the interest, and prevent trickery. An incident occurred before the first race which would have been attended with serious consequences but for an extraordi nary instance of self-possession. A horse took fright, and ran away with, in this case, a very awkward appurtenance, in the shape of a gig, in which, besides the driver, was a Miss Brooke. The driver was soon thrown to the ground, land the lady's prospect was bad enough ; however, she retained not only her scat but her nerves, and with admirable coolness guided the horse with the whip, keeping him clear of hillocks and ditches by an occasional cut on the proper side, and, suf fering him to; " go on" till he tired, stopped him without any mishap. Nine men out of ten would have jumped out and left horse and chaise to their fate. THE ST. LZSER. We hasten to correct an inaccuracy in our description of this race. lon and Lanercost did not lie second and third throughout; on the contrary, Alzira headed lon from the first gravel road to the hill, and again in descending it; he fol lowed Don John till round the Red House, where he gave up, and the other two resumed their positions. Cobham headed Lanercost at the distance, but broke down the instant after. The settling took place this morning at the betting-room, and went off remark a bly we ll ; money seeme d to be more plentiful than usual, and we did not hear of a single defaulter. THE DERBY. _ In the course of the day Brother to Bay Middleton was backed at 12 to 1, Gulnare at 1,000 to 60, Bulwark and Epidaurus at 20 to 1 each, and Arthur, Flambeau, Vat Tros, and several others at five points more.

SWIMMING MATCH ACROSS THE THAMES.—A swimming match took place yesterday in the Thames, near the Stadium, Chelsea, the seat of the late Lord Cremorne, which has been converted into a sort of exhibition garden, under the manage ment of the Baron de Beranger. The distance was from the Chelsea to the Battersea shore, at b;gh water, and the prizes consisted of four pieces of plate. Thirteen men, seven at on time, the remaining a few minutes af:er, jumped into tho stream, and swam their distance in less than 14 minutes, which we understood to be excessively fast. The competitors were chiefly mechanics and watcrmen. The attendance of spectators was not very large. LIREMP•IO.... The favourable advances made in the Southampton Railway has induced the subscribers to the Commercial Docks in that town to commence their construction immediately. TO THE PEOPLE OF niELAN' LETTER 111. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Let it be recollected that, on the suggestion of some of the Irish Government, we gave up active agitation. We aban doned our weekly meetings, and even dissolved the General Association—a body which had most materially served the public cause, and, above all, the Parliamentary interests of the friends of the present Administration. It was the constant calumny of our enemies, and we ever were reproached by the Whigs as being imconcilable—inea• :cable of being conciliated—as agitating for agitation sake— and as being incapable of showing our confidence in a friendly Government, or of reposing in their care the precut ing us an equal measure of justice with England. I look back with the greatest satisfaction to the manner in which the People of Ireland have falsified these charges. They have for near three years reposed the utmost confidence in a friendly Administration. The Representatives of the Irish people have readily, cheerfully, and disinterestedly supported that Administration. Language has been found inadequate to describe the feelings of gratitude with which the Irish people have viewed the progress made by Lord Normanby and Lord Morpeth towards establishing a system of impartiality and equal justice to every class in Ireland. This course had the relish of novelty and the solid advantage of producing such a disposition to pacification and tranquillity, as had never before been known in Ireland. It will, however, be admitted that no permanent advantage has been derived from all this. It is clear that so far from in suring us permanent advantage, the fact is, that if the Tories were to come into power to-morrow we should lose at once all we have gained, and be placed in a worse situation than we were before. The present good is transitory, depend ing on individuals, and the stability of the Government—the evil is lasting as it is the necessary result of bad laws, unre pealed and unaltered. The experiment has been complete in both parts. We have patiently awaited the result of the Ministerial efforts to ad vance the interests of Ireland. The Ministry, instead of in creasing in power to serve us, have actually become less able to carry any one measure useful to Ireland. The strength of the Tory faction in England has aug mented. Their determination to refuse us any and every amelioration has daily become more envenomed. • The sooth ing system in Ireland encourages the British Peers and Tory Commoners to injure and despise us. Why, then, should we preserve our meek and moderate tone? What shall we gain by not changing it?—Nothing. I am, therefore, decidedly of opinion that the sooner we alter that tone the better; and that it is incumbent on us n on at c ion eagain to speak to our ene m i es i n t h e voice o f an insulted CHESTER. And as to the " respect" which we have won from British Reformers, it to my mind exceedingly resembles the species of respect boasted of by an ancient spinster, who declared that the men had always respected her too much ever to ask her to marry. _ These two things seem perfectly clear. First—That the present Ministry would obtain justice for 'reland, if they could. Secondly--ihat the English Tories are too strong for them. We must therefore see whether or not the Tories are also too strong for the Irish nation. The English Tories have driven us to this. The battle lies between us and them. Who is it that is base enough to shrink from taking his share in this strife? I now come to the THIRD plan. It is mine—it is this :it consists of two distinct parts. First part—The organization of an Association sufficiently numerous to speak the sentiments of all Ireland. Secondly—The practical arrangements by which such sentiments shall be so expressed and acted upon, as to ensure success. The organization should be such as to embrace everybody desirous of assisting to obtain " Justice for Ireland." It is for this purpose that the " Precursor Society" has been established, and it is now in progress of enrolment. Some thousands are already enrolled, and I trust that before the month of November is closed it will include some millions. The moment it exceeds two millions the moral effect of such a demonstration will be irresistible. The enrolment list is in the hands of Mr. T. M. Ray, the Acting Secretary to the " Precursors," at the Corn Ex change Rooms, Dublin. It is necessary to pay him one shilling at the enrolment. The money is at once deposited with Laurence Finn, Esq., the treasurer, and will, of course, be accurately and publicly accounted for, as all such monies have ever been. The better mode of conducting the enrolment has been found to be—for one person to undertake to collect the names and shillings of nineteen other persons, and, by adding his own, then to transmit the twenty names with a pound note to Mr. Ray. This mode is being acted on in several places. As in the Catholic Association, men, women, and children, can, if they chose, be enrolled. I want two millions of names to demonstrate the zeal and sincerity of the people of Ire land. I hope every human being who desires to place Ire land on a perfect footing of equality with the rest of the Bri. tish empire, will, as soon as possible, enrol in the Precursor Society. A general meeting will be held in Dublin in November, and arrangements will be made to bring the Society into practical operation not only in that city but in every locality through out the country. The " Precursors" resident in each county, city, and town will assist the Central Society, and manag e the affairs each of its own locality. It will be well to have some persons from each locality attend in Dublin, to commu nicate authentically the views and wishes of the " Precursors" in their respective vicinages. Thus the opinions of every part of the Irish nation will be ascertained and acted upon, and the full force of the " moral mind" of Ireland brought to bear on our internal and external enemies. There is but one general principle which is:-to guide and govern all our proceedings—that is, that there shall be no such thing as a private or secret meeting of the " Precursor Society." The meetings shall always be open to public in spection, and no illegal act, nor any violation of the law, be permitted. Such is to be the organization of the " Precursor Society." For one, I have determined to work it out into full activity. I, of course, expect jealousies and hostilities —the mistaken anger of good men, and the active malignity of secret and nameless enemies ; but I will persevere. As long as I have life and energy I will persevere until I see the " Precursor Society" rival in zeal and utility that body, all of whose regu lations and rules were the produce of my pen—the Catholic Association. I have gone over in sorrow and melancholy the sad history of Ireland—continued oppressions for centuries—continued re sistance. The oppressors always united and unanimous —the oppression concentrated for strength, and diffused only for all extensive mischief—the resistance temporary, by starts and fits, and scattered abroad, weakened by internal dissension— by mutual jealousy—the "resisters" snore envenomed against one another than against the common enemy. They say it was fate—a wayward fate Our web of discord wove— And whilst OUR TYRANTS joined in HATE--- WE never joined in novr. What were the consequences ? Why, a thousand magnifi cent plans to deliver Ireland from bondage wpre discomfitted and defeated, leaving the divided Irish more helpless after each contest, and the perpetual enemy increased in strength and virulence by impunity and triumph. For my part, I will take no share in any dissension. lam for near forty years so habituated to have my motives vilified, my actions distorted, my whole life calumniated, that all these matters leave on me as little impression as water does on the wild duck's wing. I forget all the abuse that has been hitherto inflicted on me, and I forgive, by anticipation, all that may be inflicted in future. My business now is to rally round me all those who love Ireland, and are determined to exert themselves on her behalf. The second head of practical arrangements will be best worked out by the " Precursor Society" when it shall meet in November. But in the meantime I desire to have it un derstood that I will, at its first meeting, propose the drafts of five petitions to her gracious Majesty the Queen, and to the Parliament.First—Calling for an equal and identical Municipal Reform in Ireland as in England. Second—Calling for an equal and identical Parliamentary franchise for Ireland as for England. Third—Calling for the total abolition of all compulsory payments to the Established Church.

BOWRING TO MAN MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—ft baying become known that Dr. Bowring was at Liverpool, and about to pass through this town on a visit to the electors of Blackburn, an invitation was forwarded to him on Tuesday by some of his friends and admirers in Manchester, to meet them this evening at the York Hotel. The distinguished visitor was In!..foduced to about one hundred respectable and influential Reformer 3, soon after seven o'clock, by Archibald Prentice, Esq., pro prietor of the 1M Manchester Times, who bad been called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, on rising to address the company, had great satisfaction in seeing at his right hand so distinguished a friend to free trade and reform as Dr. Bowring. Dr. Bowring sad contrived to convince the Viceroy of Egypt of the impolicy of corn-laws. Some three or four thousand years ago there was corn in Egypt, but they had not then felt the effects of corn laws. He wished to heaven he could contrive to be as suc cessful with our Government.—(Hear, hear.) But he feared that he would not, and that th e shame would be upon this country that Africa bad set them the ex ample of an enlightened policy in commerce.—(Cheers.) I need not tell you (said the Chairman) of its effects upon our own trade. I recollect that when we exported goods to one particular market the demand ceased first for the coarser goods, and they came to us then only for the finer, which they could not manufacture. That also ceased, and in lieu of it came the demand only for the finer numbers of yarns. The trade in the finer yarns ceased in time, because with the aid of our machinery they could manufacture them as well as we. And now comes the exportation d machinery, prohibited it is true, but which the giant smuggler etintrites to set at nought. Next will be the exportation of men td itiake the machinery. This, - indeed, is already becoming the case; And I wonder that Manchester ha., not ere this risen en masse to prevent the destruction of her trade by a demand for the re peal of the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I propose to you the health of our distinguished guest, Dr. Bowring, the enlightened advocate of free trade. The toast was given with three times three hearty cheers. Dr. BOWRING then rose. It is a great delight to meet with old faces in one's native land. But I confess, Gentlemen, that whilst I was away my heart was filled with indignation, because I could not understand the course of public affairs in my native land. They seemed to me wrapped up in a singu lar mystery—that the purposes of the people, and of the Go vernment, and of the Parliament, were alike unintelligible. It seemed as if a general stagnation, a general indifference, per vaded the whole country, and as if the nation, unaware of its great work, had given up the cause of Reform and of popular improvement in despair.—( Hear, hear.) But since I have returned I have found that I formed something like an erro neous estimate of the state of things ; for in Scotland, I per ceive, that the waters are not stagnant, that there is a great movement, a great excitement, a great tendency to better things, a great demand for important changes ; and that the only question now is, in what direction will the great and mag nificent tide of public opinion rush?—( Hear.) Gentlemen, whether the rush be towards the abolition of the Corn-laws, whether the rush be towards the extension of the Suffrage, or towards the protection of the voter, or towards shortening the duration of Parliaments, - I care not whitberwards the rush be, provided that it runs towards one; if towards two the better; but if towards all, the better still.--( Loud cheers.) What I do desire most is, that we should endeavour, if we can, to move on harmoniously with the great mass of public feeling. Proceed forward we must.—( Cheers.) The state of things will not allow matters to continue as they are. The Reform Bill is universally acknowledged not to have succeeded in the object which it mainly intended to attain, namely, cheap Go vernment for the public; and I agree with the Times of yes terday that, as every Reform is a means to an end, we must have means as great and as powerful as will enable us to attain the end for which we are struggling.—( Hear, hear.) Gen tlemen, one topic of delight, of joy, I may say I certainly feel in returning to this country. I came last from the east, after visiting countries which war had been ravaging for the last quarter of a century, where I found fertile lands depopu laced, beautiful villages destroyed, suffering on every side, and on many sides hopeless suffering. I come thence, having witnessed the influence of war for the last five-and-twenty years, to see, in my own country the influence of peace.— ( Hear.) In the last twenty-five years what wonders have not been done 1 Already you stretch out your hands to the capital, and before the sun sets you receive all the intel ligence the sun rising drops upon the metropolis. You can visit the other hemisphere, and return to this under the light of the same moon. I see everywhere an increase of know ledge ; I see everywhere the diffusion of more generous, more beneficent principles ; I find everywhere I enter national ha treds destroyed, and commerce stretching out its peaceful ten drils, and locking around it in wide and still widening folds. Upon this we may be congratulated, and upon this we may congratulate ourselves as we do congratulate others, for no thing can give a wanderer like myself greater delight, loving my country as I love her, than to feel that that country occu pies the high position she does occupy in point of intelligence over other lands. But they have not received one hundredth part of the benefits which this country can communicate to them; and why? My friend, the Chairman, pointed -nut the reasons. He eloquently described to you that we will not re ceive the benefits which they can confer; in other words, that we w ill not have he-benefits which they can c ommun i cate . I t is i m possible to estimate the amount of human misery created by the Corn-laws, or the amount of human pleasure over thrown by them. In every part of the world I have found the plague-spot that they engender reflected back upon this e y Some years ago I was sent to agitate—f or our I eGouveetrviiMent is sometimes engaged in the work of honourable agitation —France in the interests of free trade; and so strong was the excitement that the South of France menaced the north of France with a separation unless the commercial code It was modified t o some extent, and I have was modified. bad the pleasure of seeing the exports of France trebled in consequence of the change.— (Hear, hear.) But when I went into Normandy and Brittany, what said the Normans and the Britons ? " Why," said they, " admit our corn, and E then we'll see whether anybody can prevent the importation of your manufactures into France."—(Cheers.) " We are they, " willing t o clothe ourselv es i n t h e said m illions," garmen t s you send us, and you h ave m illi ons of hungry mouths to take our corn. The same language is held by es cry nation in trade. We talk, and with some good reason talk, s talk, about the evils inflicted by some of the minor German Slates who have consented to increase the duties upon British manufactures. They have been following the advice of certain Honourable Gentlemen who have ever that most mischievous word "reciprocity" upon their lips, for no word has done so much damage to commerc e as t h at word. Every man who b u y s sells reciprocity, and every man who sells if b u ys reciprocity , andone Government had courage to be come a destructive Government, and overthrow " reciprocity" i n t h e intercourse of nation and nation, it would do a noble deed. I w i s h my Ri g ht H on . F r i en d your representative would consider that, his high and noble mission —(Ch eers)— and that he would obliterate from the Statute -b oo k every Statute by which Governments have pretended to teach mer chants how to trade , and manufacturers how to w or k. Gentle men, but what did Prussia say ? No doubt the object of Prussia was political rather than commercial ; for she managed so that she got a great many little States in her pow er , and i nfluenced their commercial interests, while sh einterfered with their po litical position. I believe that Prussia made a great mis take, b e cause she is not powerful enough t o overpower the smaller States, and the smaller States being a " bundle of' sticks," which Prussia had been unable to detach and separate, they were enabled to dictate terms to Prussia her self. But the Prussian union say, "We do not wish to legis late against the introduction of your manufactures; take our corn and our timber, and we will take your manufactures;" and many in high situations under the Prussian Government have said to me, " We hold this union as a means of making you change 3 our legislation."—( Hear, hear.) If I could, or if I had any infl f uence with the Prussian Ministry, I would say, " Take goods from England, and, no doubt, the English people will have good prices for them; for I do not think it is likely our merchants will long sell their goods unless they can obtain their value." And I believe that the great se cret of the mode ef changing the legislation of every country is to change your own . ; admit what you want, buy what you want upon the cheapest terms, and be sure that those who sell it to you will be paid. Now, a very serious state of things has come on in consequence of the existence of these Corn-laws. Nobody can estimate the amount of capital withdrawn from agriculture, in order to be applied to manufactures, in consequence of one not taking from other nations the commodities with which they would buy our goods. The other day, coming down the Danube, an Hungarian no bl eman told me that they had quite ceased to think of producing corn for the English market, and that they were turning their capital to manufacturing, as they could not sell their cot n.—( Hear, hear.) There were boundless quan tities of corn in the country, but not sufficient clothing for the use of th e people, and so the' Austrian Government was led to encourage commerce, to discourage English manufactures, and to manufacture for themselves.—( Cheers.) And this was a state of things which Corn-law legislation was bringing about in all directions.—(Hear, hear.) I have heard it seid, and it seems to have had some influence upon the labouring people, that the introduction of foreign corn is the Inevitable way to lower wages. I say, that if there Le any certain means of raising wages it i s b y t h e a d m i ss i o n of foreign corn. ( Cheers) Which are the two countries that have had the wisdom to avoid Corn-law legislation? They are Holland and Switzerland in which wages are higher than in any country in Europ,e—ell ear , hear.) And that is invariably the case. Wages are almost always raised when the greatest demand for labour is introduced ; and the demand for labour is always introduced with the introduction of a foreign com petition. Switzerland, it is true, was two generations ago in a state of extreme wretchedness and misery, with emigrations of immense masses of her population taking place every six o r eight years, and with the population reduced to the verge of starvation, a great portion of the country being composed of desolate mountains, of uncultivated tracts, and the people in a state cf sad ignorance. What has occurred there ? The people have attained more political ideas, and applied them to the attain ment of political knowledge; that political know ledge has given them a sound commercial legislation, and now the rate of wages in Switzerland is far higher than the rate in any country in Europe, and with regard to the pri,eet tef corn trioditiee, between 30 and 40 per cent. higher than the. rate of sUges hefes-ai Hear. )I have seen om eecnmmooeiretthieas e universallyn a o r ne instanceof a ititiian in Sit itztelall(l_ ,, er n • i e ti n s e, t o O f I free' 4s t a r ak e , day b w y h h ic a li rm is ulabnoivuerr, a —( h d e o e p r t s cd —ll-°1 Ho ting from lland, country, if cid ihete was one which could be, a, the Duke of Wellington said in the' flowse of Lords, reduced to the humiliating necessity of depending Open foreign lands for a supply of food, which he made an arguntleass for tin Corn-laws—flollend depended l, on every country. ?frac , was she ever short? I venture to say that no granaries in any country were ever so well filled. Every body there knows the rate of wages, because they know that with every slight alteration in price they can estimate what the loaf of bread will cost them and their families. But now, when the Corn laws are about to be overwhelmed--because I do n rt believs that, in the present state of public opinion, they can stand, we shall find that we shall not get one-twentieth of the benefits of netionel interchange we should have had if there had been no Corn-law at all. My belief is, that if this country imported one or two millions of quarters of wheat from foreign lands, the tonsumption would increase to that extent; for it is astonishing 4ow much consumption increases when the price of corn i low, and when trade is healthy and prospe rous. There are many districts in which the increase of consumption is only one-fifth ; that, added to one tenth, would make an increase of two millions of quarters ; and the introduction of two millions of quarters of corn would be the export of between four and five millions of manufactures, in order to accomplish the payment. My friend (the Chairman) referred to some circumstances which took place in Egypt. It is almost repeating myself and him to advert to the subject again ; but the facts are so interesting that I-must be excused for doing so. Egypt, it is well known to you, has been for between three and four thousand years the granary of the world. The Pacha, who is s very intelligent and a very remarkable man, capable of reasoning, and a man, more than any Turk I ever met with, alive to the great interests of the country, had been interfering with the introduction of corn, and put on it a very heavy duty, under the belief that his all-productive country never could want corn. But it happened there, as it will happen everywhere, that any interference with production is an embarrassment to production, and that capital, finding itself embarrassed and annoyed by such interference, applies itself to other channels ; and when I was in Egypt the people were absolutely menaced with famine, and in Cairo corn could scarcely be had for love or motley, or even with the despotic orders of the Pacha in hand. I did speak to the Pacha upon the suljsen te and I told hi m b e was d e l u d e d b y those shout him, like other moeaechs surrounded by their flatterers, who rather told ' him that which was not true than that which was. I told him how the country w e : menaced with nothing less than starve was continued would pr o b a bl y tion, and that if th e s y s t er n ,?r it was tr ue i n Af r i ca, as s that of th e b e ll y. see his army in a s t a t e o f revo l t; in England, th a t no revo l t was so terr ib• He did, after a long debate, and alter fighting e eey heroically in tho Chandos style, give way, and said he thought it was better to let corn come in and go out of the ports without any duty whatever. I ventured to assure him he would soon see the beneficial consequences, I had reason to say so, for it was then at 180 piastres, but after tide it fell down to seventy. Corn thenceforward came in and went out to all quarters, and I left Egypt exporting instead of importing corn ; and as I believe the fully of interference will not again be committed, I have no doubt Egypt will become the land of plenty which she has been for ages. Now with regard to this Eastern world. Turkish despotism has done what despotism always does —destroy trade. To one monopoly followed many : monopoly led to the depopulation of the country, and men oppressed scamp ered of; men whose capital was dealt with tyrannically ran away with such as remained ; thus Syria, this holy land, had been almost abandoned by men of enterprize. Within a few years, however, a new state of things has taken place. We have now intercourse with Damascus, with Aleppo, with Tyre, with Sidon, with Jerusalem, and with Tripoli.—( Hear, hear.) What a satisfaction is it to every man going from the West to the East, when he clambers up Mount Lebanon, to find one of the ancient Druses clothed in garments with which our industrious countrymen have provided him. What a de light is it in going to the holy cities to stop with the caravan at Nazareth—to see 4,000 individuals, and scarcely be able to fix upon one but to whom your country has presented some comfort, or some decoration. Peace and industry have been doing this and much more, for be assured that whilst this country is diffusing blessings, she is creating an interest, she is exciting in the minds of those she serves an affection towards her, and thus commerce is a communication of good, and a dispensing of blessings which were never enjoyed before. This process has been going on gradually for the last twenty-five years, so that the man who is labouring at his loom from morning to night to day for a precarious subsistence, scarcely knowing how his labours shall provide food for his family at the end of the week, little thinks he his widely extending and raising the reputation of his country—shat he is, in fact, making that country more beloved, and adding, though without perceiving it, to the most consummate and exalted patriotism,—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, our country is thus increasing its influence. Un der the desire for obtaining your commodities, the mountains of the Holy Land are beginning to be covered with new vege. II tation. Mulberry tr ees are b e i ng p l ante d ; t h e ol i ve i s again I attended to; the vineyards are again gathered by the side of Mount Tabor; and all this is done by the influence of trade —all these grow at the desire to receive something which you communicate. Now, all that is wanted in this country is an intense desire to receive what they produce. Though they are not able to give away, you are able to give. They cannot produce those wonderful results which capital and labour, and intelligence and enterprise, and capability and art and science bring together—they cannot compete with you in these —but what can they do? They can sow their ' corn; they can cultivate their fields; they can feed your population. And yet your Corn-laws say that this hum ble, this useful, this beneficial return, shall not be made to your industry. __(Hear, hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it really does appear to me that this state of things is intolerable,— ( Cheers)—and I do hope and trust, that whatever becomes of other questions, which I hope will not be forgotten, that the labouring people will see how their interests are concerned and involved in the solution of this all-important matter._ )(Cheers.) In Spain, a country reduced by a restrictive sys tem to a state of inconceivable degradation as regards its corn merce, its manufactures, and its shipping interests, at this mo ment there are whole districts in the most fertile parts where the gathering in of the corn will not pay foe expense of the sickles, where the fruits of the earth are allowed to perish un harvested, because no market is to be found for them.— ( Shame.) Why, England, if she pleased, might become the universal benefactor.---( Cheers.) The Duke of Wellington and the other advocates of the Corn-laws ask what would be the consequence of a war ? Do you believe war would be possible when we had universal wisdom ?_( Cheers.) Who quarrels with his benefactor? Or if he quarrels long, who does not seek to heal the breach ? Who would seek to quarrel with those who were perpetually communicating to us benefits and blessings? Gentlemen, I hope the time is coming when the warrior will not he looked to as the defender of England, but the peace-maker—( Chee:s)— when that happy state of things will come, in which we shall look at the victories of commerce and the victories of peace as far more glorious than any that have been gathered in fields where blood has been poured out like water.—( Cheers. ) It appears to me that commerce is as yet the Hercules in his cradle not having strangled the serpent; but the serpent will be strangled, the intelligence of the country will strangle it, and then you will see how great and glorious we are, because with our commerce our principles spread ; our principles are the living principles of England, planted in Englishmen ; the dying principles are the principles of Toryism and of anti- Reform.—( Loud cheers.) Yes, Gentlemen, with our corn • merce we circulate our very institutions. We do much more than clothe the body --we feed the mind.---( Hear.) We arc creating for ourselves and society a state of opinion which will enable us to be the lever of the universal world.—(Cheers.) The Doctor then sat down amidst great aeplause. GEORGE HADFIELD, Esq., could not but regret that a sys tem of legislation like that of the Corn-laws should have been allowed to remain in existence, in a country like this, but for one yecr. Let it not be forgotten that this law passed in the days of Tory ism —(Cheers)—agai ns t the will of the country, at the end of the last war, when Lord Goderich had his house burnt over his head for it, and when petitions were presented, signed by millions, against its enactment. And yet it was ex traordinary that from that time to the present there had nut been one simultaneous popular effort made to overturn it.— ( Hear.) He was sorry to sea men trying to set Reformers at variance on other questions, in order to keep them back from looking at this. The repeal of the Corn-laws would probably amount to six times the good that would attend the repeal of the Poor-law. The profit to the country would probably i.e six times the amount paid to the pour altogether. It was time to unite heart and hand on this question, and challenge the whole country te put their shoulder to the wheel, and get rid of a system alike offensive t o th e l aws of God and men.— (Cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he should propose was the health of a Gentlem an w h o h ad done much service on the Corn-law question, and in favour of free trade ; who had done much to amend the repreentation, and who never forgot what had been done by the Tories ; he meant the author of The who was now engaged in answering in Corn-law Catechism, 7'he Sun the fallacies which lie hnd so often slain, but waieli were . coetinually being revived by his opponents on the Corn questien. Colonel Thompson, who put out opinions in the Westminster Review that were influential in getting the Re form Bill —who put out opinions which were much Letter than getting the Reform Bill, by spreading right notions about the renenins of commerce—was again in the field, and he (the Chairman) had no doubt would don great deal of good by his acute replies to the fallaci son the Corn question. lie would propos e , then, i n connect i on with the London Anti- Ci rn-law A esocietion, of ts hie!) he was prowl of being a Member, ".

NEW CA NA L.-A Company is now formin g to obtain P n A ct i n t h e next Scssicn of Parliament to from Birmingha m to Manchester. cut a canal Ipine under a system which threatened to deprive them or a great portion of their commerce. However, an example had been set Oro* by the hand-loom weavov,s during the late inquiry into their condition, when a number of thezk met, and came to the conclusion that whatever might be Ptterupted for their relief (and amongst the systems proposed %Na. 3 a Board of Masters and ALI]. to settle disputes about prices. as in France), no. relief could reach them without a repeal of the Corn- laws.— ( Hear.) These men, who were so reduced that they could 'tot raise the paper for a petition without assistance, had sent ❑p a petition for the repeal of the Corn-laws, bearing 22,000 sigostures.—( Applause.) He proposed " The health anti happines, of the poor hand-loom weavers, who had set them the example of petitioning for the repeal of the Corn-laws." Given with thr e e times three cheers.

The proposition was ultimately altered, and it %4' S agreed that the meeting should form a Committee to establish such an Association, and meet on Monday night next. The CHAIRMAN bad on his right hand a gentleman (the son o f Leigh Hunt) who, as Editor of the North Cheshire Re- Ibrmer, had been fighting the Corn-laws well; and he had expected the Editor of the Bolton Free Press, another cham pion of the cause, but, for some reason, he had not been able to attend. The health of Mark Philips, Esq., our excellent Rtpre— s'2ntative," was afterwards given with cheers; and " The health of Mr. P. Thomson, the Vice-Chairman :" and the meeting separated. (From the Times.) We have received several communications complaining of the proposed alteration in the time of the departure of the day mails from London by Railway to Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Dublin, and all the intermediate towns on the road. It is stated that on and after the Ist of October next, the mails to the above-mentioned places, which now leave London at eight o'clock in the morning, are to ba detained till eleven o'clock. We were at first inclined to believe that our Cor respondents had been led into some mistake, but on inquiry, we find that their information is but too true, and that the Post-office, instead of accelerating the mails, arc about to retard them, and deprive them of the advantage which every other mode of conveyance has gained by the openinf of the Railway throughout from London to Birmingham. To un derstand the matter fully, it is necessary to state, that on r ; : , partial opening of the London and Birmingham R a il w. -_, the mails were conveyed by Railway t o Den bigh I - la:.' , and lt then ce t o Rugby by coach es an d . horses. At,"(shy they were aga i n p l aced on the Railway o , by the G ran d J unction nchester th ey arr i ved the same and conveyed to L'.irmingliam, whe nce th ey were forwarded to their respecti ve d esti : atins Rail way. At Li ver p oo l and ills ' night, about h a lf-p ast eleven 0 , ,, 1 0ck , an hour to o l ate f or the deilvery of letters or n ewspapers. The del a y create d b y the conveyance of the mails from Denl alt ,sh-hall to Rugby by coaches might now be avoided by the ope,oing of the London and Birminghan Railway throughout. The morning eight o'clock train from London is t o arr i ve i n Bins, ingham ab out two o'clock. The mails, if se n t b y t h at train, co. old be for warded, according to the present arrangements, at ;:alf-past two o'clock, and would reach Liverpool and Manchester the same evening a+. seven o'clock—an h our w hi c h would admit of the letters and ne ts '? apers being deli vere d w i thout the delay of a night intervening. .If this proposal of the Post -office to delay jhe d e p ar t ure o f th e s nails till 11 o ' c l oc k i n the forenoon is p ers i s t e d i n , a ll t h e advant47 that might b e o b ta i ned by the railway is completely thro.7 l arsay. The three • hours' d e l ay w ill prevent t h e ma i ls arriv;.og At Liverp oo l an d Manche s t er till 11 o ' c l oc k at night • the is' tters and news papers w ill b e t h en d eta i ned in the Post -office, ,'la at present, till the next morning; and, in fact, after all the to n:-.fits ex pected from the railway, the public will only obtain the.'r let ters and newspapers at the same hour that they did Is-17'er' they were forwarded by the morning coaches to Birmingham ? and thence by the cross mail to Liverpool and Manchester. It has been urged that the delay of the mails till 11 o'clock has been to enable merchants in London to answer their cor respondent's letters on the same morning that they are re ceived; but even that argument is without the slightest foun dation. The delay of the mails to 11 o'clock will prevent the letters being delivered at Liverpool or Manchester the same evening, and letters sent by the night mail from London will reach both those towns within an hour or two of the de livery of the letters which arrived the precediner night by the day mail. It is scarcely possible to believe that a plan more injudicious, more mischievous, or more calculated to thwart and prevent all that might be accomplished by railway com munication could be conceived. We earnestly hope that the merchants and manufacturers in every town and district af fected by this unwarrantable sacrifice of time will meet and express their opinions in a manner not to be misunderstood even at the General Post-office. We subjoin an extract from a Dublin Paper, which will show how the subject is estimated there : • (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) " RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN. " Her Majesty's Ministers have shown no neglect of Ireland whenever the question was a political one, the agitation of which might be turned to their own advantage; but in any matter wherein the real interest, prosperity, or commercial accommodation of this country were concerned, we tax them, not only with indifference and neglect, but contempt and discountenance. A flagrant instance of this is now laid before us in the following letter from the office of Messrs. Johnston and Co., of Eden-quay. It appears from this that Ireland is not to share in the benefit of the communi cottion by railway between London and Liverpool, as far as the Post-affice arrangements are concerned. For though it was reasonably expected, and could have been readily arranged, that the London morning mail should have continued to be despatched at 8 o'clock A. Mt., and have thus reached Liverpool in sufficient time to have brought the communication between die two capitals within the space of four-and-twenty hours, it is not to be despatched until It o'clock ; nor will the London Post-office condescend to grant to the Irish the advantage of t wo additional hours fur the posting of letters, which must still be delivered in the Post-office receivers at not one minute later than the now-appointed time. " Brother Bull, we tell you candidly, and as a friend, this will not do. You must make your Ministers do their business, or turn them out. United with you, for better fur worse, we must have our fair share of accommodation and advantage. ' Justice for Irel an d,' or else -- " TO TILE EDITOR OF VIE bI 7 BLIN EVENING MAiL. " Express Newspaper-office, Eden quay, Monday Morning, Sept. 17, 1838. " Sir—Doubtless'y ou are aware that te London and Bir. mingham Railway opens the whole way this day; accordingly we were desirous, in our capacity as Newspaper agents, of learning what the advantages to the Irish public would be in consequence. Judge, then, of our surp..ise, at being in formed (which we hasten to communicate to you) by our Lon don correspondent, that no alteration, as regards Ireland, will at present take place—that the mcrning mail from London, despatched hitherto at 9 o'clock A. M., will not now leave till 11 o'clock A. M., as the following official notice states : " • General Pest-office, Sept. 15, 1838. " ' Si',—Since I saw you this day I :ave ascertained that the Directors of the Birmingham Railway ?lave not provided for the nine o'clock despatch, according to Their contract with the Post-office, and that consequently the day mail must be despatched from the Euston station on Monday next at eleven o'clock, A.
